Another Day - Painting Workshop
2025-05-14 14:00 - 16:00 UTC | Make on the Corner, 22 Derby Road, Huyton, L36 9UJ
Another Day – Painting Workshop

Using easily-accessible materials and techniques, this painting workshop looks to engage with themes of nostalgia, universal experiences, and daily rituals. Participants will be encouraged to paint scenes or objects from their everyday lives, helping them connect with creative processes and see beauty in their surroundings. This workshop is designed to make creative practice approachable and accessible to all!
Free to attend- acrylic paint, wood, and all equipment required will be provided. We just ask for you to bring an object or photo of a scene you wish to paint, and we will guide you through it step by step.
Wider Project Overview:
Another Day is a collaborative project between curator Francesca Fryer and artist Aaron Jolley, exploring how the everyday can be perceived and engaged with through processes of care, facilitation, and nostalgia. This project will culminate in an exhibition of paintings, at Elevator Studios in Liverpool in May 2025.
Aaron’s work is inspired by his observations of the everyday- rooftops, reflections in windows, and the quiet intimacy of spaces we inhabit. They resonate with universal experiences, allowing even those unfamiliar with contemporary art to connect with the work. The exhibition will create an environment where everyone, regardless of background, can feel comfortable and engaged, and demonstrate how creativity can emerge from the mundane, offering a fresh perspective on art’s role in community life.
The exhibition will be complemented by events designed to foster connection, discussion, and create a welcoming space for community engagement. These will aim to break down barriers often associated with galleries, making the art experience more accessible.

Leah Foulkes Solo Exhibition (Independents Biennial)
2025-07-18 10:00 - 2025-08-10 16:00 (Europe/London) | Make North Docks, 37 Regent Street, Liverpool, L3 7BN
Make CIC are proud to announce the first exhibition in our new gallery space at our North Docks Site – Sculptor Leah Foulkes, in collaboration with the 2025 Independents Biennial.
The exhibition will be open Monday – Saturday from 11am – 4pm from Friday the 17th of July – Saturday 9th August 2025.

Artist Statement
I have always been fascinated by architecture extending to the appreciation of the derelict,
dilapidated and decayed. The contrasting properties of materials found within the urban
landscape have informed the development of my current sculptural language. I often use
materials and objects taken directly from the built environment without changing their
found characteristics in the construction process. The work I am creating is about the formal
qualities of materials and how I can disrupt or enhance these qualities. I enjoy testing the
limits of materials and exploring the ways to manipulate them into new forms or combine
them in unexpected ways. Space, form and materials are all things I consider when making
the pieces, being informed by the space they will occupy and how the forms created will
challenge that space.

Artist’s Biography
Leah Foulkes is a recent Fine Art graduate from Wrexham University and is now a studio
holder at Stwidio Olivet, where she has spent time producing abstract sculptures inspired by
urban and industrial areas, through a process of material exploration. The contrasting
properties of materials found within the urban environment have formed the development
of her current sculptural language. She predominantly works on large scale three-
dimensional pieces but occasionally dips into painting and drawing too. Growing up in
Ellesmere Port has inspired many of Leah’s use of materials, in particular industrial materials
more commonly used in construction and architecture. Leah enjoys testing the limits of
materials and exploring the ways to manipulate them into new forms or combine them in
unexpected ways.

Paint Your Peace: Watercolour Affirmation Cards
A mindful, no-pressure workshop to create something beautiful—just for you, or someone you care about.
Led by local artist Olivia McIntosh and supported by fellow creative Katy Lancaster, this session is all about slowing down, having a play with colour, and enjoying the moment in good company. Hosted by Pyromancy Productions C.I.C., we’re here to offer a relaxed, welcoming space where everyone can feel at ease.
Take some time out for yourself and join us for a calming, creative workshop where you’ll design your very own set of watercolour affirmation cards. These mini works of art are perfect to keep as a gentle daily reminder, or to gift to someone special who could use a little lift.
You don’t need any experience—just come as you are. This is all about slowing down, having a play with colour, and enjoying the moment in good company. We’ll provide all the materials and have light refreshments available, but feel free to bring along your own snacks or soft drinks too.
It’s a great chance to meet new people, try something new, and leave with something meaningful you’ve made by hand.

Flow follows a solitary cat whose peaceful life is disrupted by a great flood. Finding refuge on a boat filled with animals from many different species, he must learn to live and work alongside others – even those who seem completely unlike him.
The event invites families to reflect on Heart of Glass’s theme for this summer: What Connects Us? Flow is a tender and timely story about empathy, friendship, and the unexpected power of community.
Enjoy some food, meet other families and watch an Oscar-winning film!
Following the screening, SOLA Arts will support you to make your own mini dioramas (scenes, homes or habitats) inspired by the film, using paper, card and craft materials.
